Now do PM and VOC levels at petrol stations.

Then PM and VoC levels on roads entirely occupied by combustion vehicles, and entirely occupied by electric vehicles.

Ditto.

But I manage a team of embedded developers. On a specialised commercially restricted embedded platform.

AI does not know a thing about our tech. The stuff it does know is either a violation of the vendors contractual covenants or made up bullshit. And Our vendor’s documentation is supplemented by a cumulative decades of knowledge.

Yet still “you gotta use AI”.

While true; do curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time; sleep 10; done

Bet the AI can’t see through this.

Not quite the same. But my NAS does files. That’s it.

Everything else is hosted elsewhere.

Ah silly us.

We spent a decade hating on IE, it’s slowness, poor support for any standards, plugins that fuck your shit up, etc.

But it was obviously the best because it had that huge market share.

I don’t believe Mozilla doesn’t have the best interests of the browser at heart, I believe that they do think their browser is the their number one product.

But that’s the problem. It’s free software, going up against a juggernaut whose browser is just another side project to drive engagement with their core product.

A juggernaut who just so happens to be one of Mozilla’s primary source of income. All it will take is a little bit of legislation somewhere in the world to make that deal less attractive and Mozilla could be dead in the water. And it will take all of those forks with it, paving the way for Google to become the true web Hegemony.

Mozilla needs to diversify to ensure they can continue to provide stewardship to the browser.

But trying to make money in 2025 just seems to summon the enshittification brigade.

Free software is not free. Someone has to make it.
